Link for HE OVA in HE Installation guide does not work. The link is on this page - "Customer Portal, Download the RHEV-M Appliance": https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6-Beta/html/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/Configuring_Self-Hosted_Engine_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_Hypervisor.html The link for OVA that does not work: https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-enterprise-virtualization/get-started Error: "The page isn't redirecting properly."
Same with RHEV-H: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6-Beta/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_Hypervisor.html

In RHEV 3.6 the RHEV-M Appliance can only be retrieved through RHN, thus the customer should run: yum install rhevm-appliance
Addition: The host needs where yum install rhevm-appliance is run, needs to be subscribed to the RHEV 3.6 agent channel
The link works now. However, it brings to download page for 3.5. Still - no idea where to download the 3.6 beta bits. I found RHEV-H, thanks to Joey: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/rhel-7-server-rhevh-beta-files__x86_64/c3de61a6-d9e2-4590-a97a-4d1187d073ce/download-item-page Not sure if it is a valid way for the customers, but at list it is available somewhere. Rhevm appliance is not available. It seems to be the same problem as we had before with RHEVH-7 on the manager, which is on RHEL6 family channels. Now, the host is from RHEL7 family channels and you cannot subscribe it to any RHEL6 channels, thus impossible to get the appliance.
Also, I think the docs should be more clear that this step of installing rhevm appliance is optional. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6-Beta/html/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/Installing_the_Self-Hosted_Engine.html
RHEV-M Appliance is available to RHEL 7 Hosts in the mgmt-agents repo # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-beta-rpms
Thanks for filing this bug. Just like to summarize a couple of the issues here: issue 1) https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6-Beta/html/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/Configuring_Self-Hosted_Engine_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_Hypervisor.html Do we need to tell customers to subscribe their RHEV-H to 'rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-beta-rpms' and then install the appliance RPM on the RHEV-H? I'm a bit confused. My understanding is to use the appliance with RHEV-H SHE, the appliance needs to be on a file server accessible via http or ftp. Fabian, could you please clarify? issue2) How do customers get access to the RHEV-H ISO.. We've always told customers to enable 'rhel-7-server-rhevh-rpms' repo and install the 'rhev-hypervisor7' RPM. For an alternative method, download the ISO from the RHEV getting started page. https://access.redhat.com/downloads/ -> RHEV/Download Hypervisor -> points to 6.7 ISO https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-enterprise-virtualization/get-started -> Download the RHEV-H 7 Image (for RHEV-M 3.5) ISO. (points to 7.1) We need clarification on this from the PM team please. (Ccing Andrew Dahms) issue3) My understanding is that using the appliance is the way to go forward with the Manager VM installation, but I now understand that the manual VM OS installation is supported as well. We will add in the manual installation instructions in our next cycle. Kind regards, Julie

You are correct, per my understanding. In case of RHEV-H, you need to have the appliance available on some file server, since you cannot run yum on RHEV-H. On another hand, when running RHEL host, yum command is reasonable. > issue2) How do customers get access to the RHEV-H ISO..

This case is slightly different, since this is beta version. And indeed PM team needs to answer where they want to see this image available. > > issue3) My understanding is that using the appliance is the way to go > forward with the Manager VM installation, but I now understand that the > manual VM OS installation is supported as well.

If yes, how the instructions would be different from those for RHEL? > > Kind regards, > Julie

FYI: The RHEV-M Virtual Appliance direct download link: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/150/rhel-6-server-rhevm-3-beta-files__6Server__x86_64/63b1abc1-9adc-496f-9572-949607738cb8/download-item-page and it seems the product 3.6 beta page will be updated to include the download link as well. ==================================================================== (In reply to Marina from comment #10) >> Can you do manual install on RHEV-H at all?? >> If yes, how the instructions would be different from those for RHEL? For RHEV-H, can also do pxe install for Manager VM. I believe instructions is the same as traditional manual installation. Cheers, Julie
Marina is correct in comment 10: - HE on RHEV-H: Download the OVA from the web portal - HE on RHEL-H: Subscribe then install the rhevm-appliance rpm through yum - RHEV-H ISO: Is available for download from the web portal
Assigning to Julie for further review. Julie, it looks like we've covered most of the requirements for this bug now. Can you take a look and update the bug with any further requirements?
Reviewed. Discussed and implemented some minor updates with Julie. I have merged the content to master. Updated the revision history for the 3.6-Beta Self-Hosted Engine Guide. Moving to VERIFIED.
